Dunedin is famed as the ‘Edinburgh of the South’ for its striking resemblance to its Scottish counterpart and is home to the world’s steepest residential street, Baldwin Street.
Cheerio to perfection dodgy weather, the best times to visit are during the warmer months from November to April when the climate is more agreeable and activities more enjoyable.
Enjoy unique experiences like indulging in delectable local cuisine, marvelling at the dazzling southern night skies or taking an enchanting train journey through Taieri Gorge.
Whilst you won’t need to sell your grandma to afford it, expect to pay around NZ$20 for a decent meal and approximately NZ$7 for a pint of local brew. Public transport reasonable at NZ$3-$4 per journey. Entrance to top attractions typically range from NZ$20 to NZ$50.
With handy public transport and paved trails, traversing around Dunedin, even for solo travellers, is a doddle. If you fancy an adventure, join a guided tour or rent a car.
Provided you’re not a bird and incapable of flight, Dunedin is well-connected with international and domestic flights. Buses and ferries are also viable options. If you fancy making an entrance, take a scenic train ride.
